# Any suggestions for my young Bambino? I got rid of the baby yellow…

Any suggestions for my young Bambino? I got rid of the baby yellow leaf, and feeling pretty good about the new leaf on the middle. Just concerned about the tips of the other leaves being yellow and dry. I would assume this is under watering? I keep it right by my humidifier and mist every few days. Thanks in advance!

How wet / dry is the soil

It was dry so I watered it yesterday

Ok!! A good rule of thumb (no pun intended) is stick your finger in the soil and water when it’s moist and almost dry, Alocasia like to stay a little moist, but not wet. I’ve noticed mine in smaller pots like water about every 6 days or so give or take

Also your bambino is so gorgeous I’m jealous

Thank you! I'm suprised that I've been this lucky so far! Great advice too! I'll make sure he doesn't dry out all the way and hopefully he will stay looking nice 🙏
